Deuteronomy 6
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;
“Kale nno, bino bye biragiro, n’amateeka, Mukama Katonda wammwe bye yandagira okubayigiriza, mubikwatenga era mubigonderenga, nga mumaze okusomoka omugga Yoludaani nga muyingidde mu nsi ejja okubeera obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
2 that you might fear Jehovah your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
Bw’otyo ggwe n’abaana bo, n’abaana b’abaana bo oluvannyuma lwabwe, olyoke otyenga Mukama Katonda wo ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo, ng’ogondera amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkuwa leero; olyoke owangaalenga.
3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Noolwekyo, wulira, Ayi Isirayiri, ogonderenga ebiragiro ebyo n’obwegendereza, ebintu byonna bikugenderenga bulungi, mulyoke muzaale mwalenga nnyo, mu nsi ekulukuta n’amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabo bwe yakusuubiza.
4 Hear, Israel: Jehovah is our God, Jehovah is one.
“Wulira, Ayi Isirayiri: Mukama Katonda waffe ali omu.
5 And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Oyagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.
6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
Amateeka gano ge nkuwa leero ogakwatanga ku mutima gwo.
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Ogayigirizanga abaana bo n’obwegendereza. Ogoogerengako bw’onoobanga otudde mu maka go, ne bw’onoobanga otambula mu kkubo, bw’onoobanga ogalamiddeko, ne bw’onoobanga ogolokose.
8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Onoogasibanga ku mikono gyo, nga bwe bubonero obw’okukujjukizanga, era ogatekanga ne ku kyenyi kyo.
9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.
Onoogawandiikanga ku myango gy’ennyumba yo, era ne ku nzigi zo.
10 It shall be, when Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
“Mukama Katonda wammwe bw’alimala okukutuusa mu nsi gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo: Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo okugibawa, nga mulimu ebibuga ebinene ebikulaakulana, by’otaazimba,
11 and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;
n’amayumba agajjudde buli kintu kyonna ekirungi, ky’otaateekamu, n’enzizi z’otaasima, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu n’emizeeyituuni z’otaasimba; kale, bw’onoomalanga okulya n’okkuta,
12 then beware lest you forget Jehovah, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
weekuumenga olemenga okwerabira Mukama eyakuggya mu nsi ey’e Misiri eyali ey’obuddu.
13 You shall fear Jehovah your God; and you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths by his name.
“Otyanga Mukama Katonda wo. Ye gw’obanga oweereza yekka, era mu linnya lye lyokka mw’obanga olayiriranga.
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;
Temuweerezanga bakatonda balala, bakatonda b’amawanga aganaabanga gabeetoolodde;
15 for Jehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
kubanga Mukama Katonda wo, ali wakati mu mmwe, Katonda wa buggya; obusungu bwe bugenda kukubuubuukirangako, akuzikirize, akumalewo ku nsi.
16 Do not test Jehovah your God, as you tested him at Massah.
Temugezesanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, nga bwe mwakola nga muli e Masa.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Munyiikirenga okukuumanga n’okugonderanga amateeka n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda wammwe by’akuwadde.
18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore to your fathers,
Okolanga ebyo Mukama by’akkiriza ebituufu era ebirungi; olwo olyoke obe bulungi ng’oyingidde mu nsi eyo ennungi Mukama gye yalayirira bajjajjaabo okugibawa,
19 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Jehovah has spoken.
ng’agobyemu abalabe bo bonna, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yasuubiza.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you mean?"
“Mu biseera ebirijja, omwana wo bw’akubuuzanga nti, Ebyo byonna ebinnyonnyola buli kalonda, n’amateeka, n’ebiragiro Mukama Katonda waffe bye yabalagira, bitegeeza ki?
21 then you shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Omuddangamu nti, ‘Twali baddu ba Falaawo mu nsi ey’e Misiri, naye Mukama Katonda n’atuggya mu Misiri n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi.
22 and Jehovah showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Mukama Katonda n’alaga obubonero obw’ekitalo, n’akola ebyamagero ebinene era ebitatendeka ku Misiri ne ku Falaawo n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, nga naffe tulaba.
23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
N’atuggyayo n’atuyingiza muno alyoke atuwe ensi eno gye yalayirira bajjajjaffe okugibawa.
24 Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
Mukama n’atulagira okukwatanga amateeka gano gonna n’okugagonderanga, n’okutyanga Mukama Katonda waffe ennaku zonna, alyoke atukuumenga nga tuli mu mbeera ennungi, era nga tuli balamu, nga bwe tuli leero.
25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he has commanded us."
Era singa tuneegenderezanga ne tukwata amateeka gano gonna ne tugagonderanga, mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe, nga bwe yatulagira, tunaabanga tutuukirizza ebyo by’ayagala.’”
